Paramount Home Media Distribution has sent us the final press release for the upcoming Saturday Night Fever 40th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition, which will be available for purchase on May 2.
With John Travolta's electrifying Oscar-nominated performance, the Bee Gees' explosive soundtrack and, of course, the unforgettable dancing, Saturday Night Fever captured the angst and brio of the time and had an indelible impact on popular culture. 40 years later, the film about a Brooklyn kid with no prospects who lives for Saturday night continues to be revered and celebrated.
Director John Badham worked with Paramount in 2016 to restore the film in 4K using the original negative and update the surround sound mix to further enhance viewers' enjoyment of the incredible soundtrack. During this process he added scenes to the theatrical R-rated version that round out character and plot, making this new Director's Cut the definitive representation of his original vision.
The new 4K restoration will be screened in select theaters across the nation on May 7 and 10. This special event includes an exclusive introduction to the film from legendary hall-of-fame radio personality Scott Shannon. For tickets and participating theaters, visit FathomEvents.com
